What is that about?

When you read through the Federal Elections Commission reports, you find a lot of very interesting material. The recent reports submitted by Stivers for Congress and Candidate Steve Stivers have a wealth of information:

Here are some highlights from the Stivers candidate/committee 24 hr. reports:

KOCHPAC contributed: $4000 to Stivers

Turkish Coalition USA PAC: contributed $1000 to Stivers

Cardinal Health Inc. PAC: $5000

Marathon Oil Company Employees PAC (MEPAC): $1000

California Dairies Federal PAC: $5,000

State Auto Employees Federal PAC: $1,000

I think that these are a little curious. Stivers is getting contributions from oil and insurance company PACs. We know that bank PACs and lobbyists have given heavily to Stivers, but why the Turkish Coalition PAC? What is that about? What do these PACs hope to gain by sending Stivers to DC?

The strangest alliance that I question is the one between Mitt Romney and Steve Stivers. Why is Mitt Romney supporting and contributing to the Stivers campaign?
